Oh boy. What kind of statement was he trying to make to his parents? Taking off after an argument to make them feel bad? How is that worth ending up dead?

With the details we have on this case, that's how it seems, but I'm not sure it makes sense. He always had the option of returning home, I would hope. Wonder why he didn't. Or if he couldn't.

More details needed on how he died...exposure? Injuries? Possible self harm?

All so sad. Real life can be so tragic. This feels especially so, IMO

Oh, there are no words for this.

Very sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. While I know I and I'm sure many others have questions about the how, where, and why I sure hope his family gets the privacy they want. Rest in peace young man.

 

[yrmfp]

This literally broke my heart

 

[Mauig’ma]

I’m sorry to hear this. So tragic. Prayers going out to his family and friends.

 

[Steelslady]

I am so sorry to hear this. How very tragic- he had his whole life ahead of him.

Since you are from Marshalltown can you estimate how far it is from his home to the highway interchange? Could he have walked there in that awful weather? Are there truckers stopping there who may have given him a ride? It doesn't seem likely that he would do that but the town seems small enough that he couldn't just "hang out" and not go home without someone seeing him.

I am heartbroken by the news about Corey, as are we all. His parents graduated from the same high school as me just a few years after. Highway 30 would be in walking distance of his home, but he probably walked the other way (north.) Of course I could be wrong but if you look at a map there are two golf courses to the north and west of his home. Those have some forested, brushy areas around them although the area has been built up recently. If he walked further west he would have been in an even more “wild” forested area before hitting the newest construction.

If I’m wrong and he did go toward the highway, then that whole area is undeveloped or farmland.

That part of town would have been uninhabited at that hour and I can see how hypothermia would quickly set in. He could easily have gotten disoriented and lost, and then...

I hope the family doesn’t blame themselves and that they’ll be comforted by folks who I know care deeply. All of Marshalltown was hoping for a different outcome.

Oh, so horribly sad. Poor Corey and his poor family.

My best guess is he probably didn't make it past the first night, because of the freezing cold.

Oh nooooooo.

 

[Penny Parker]

Horrific news. So sorry for his poor family.

No words. Ah sweet poor child.
Rest softly.

May your family find some peace somehow.
ah man.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (KCCI) —

A 13-year-old central Iowa boy who left home in the middle of a snowstorm has been found dead, bringing the dayslong search -- made difficult by frigid temperatures and blustery winds -- to an end.

Brown was last seen around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday near the Jackie Terrace neighborhood walking south. Surveillance video captured footage of the teenager leaving the house hours after he apparently had an argument with his parents, the police chief said.

A community ravaged by an EF-3 tornado in July 2018 came together once again to assist in finding Brown, an eighth-grade student at Miller Middle School. Residents tied green ribbons around trees and put out green bulbs on their porch lights to show support for Brown.

About 200 people showed up Wednesday for a search party at St. Henry Catholic Church, the Marshalltown Times-Republican reported.

"It says a lot about how community-oriented Marshalltown really is," Marshalltown resident Kara Wilson said.

Brown’s parents made an emotional plea Thursday for their son to return home, saying, “Corey, if you’re out there, bud, you’re not in trouble; just come home.”

Marshall County Crime Stoppers and Lennox Employees Credit Union offered a $1,000 reward for information related to Brown’s disappearance. It wasn’t clear what will happen to that reward money.

"We are saddened to learn of the death of one of our students. Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to the Brown family and those close to Corey. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed. We will continue to offer additional counselors at Miller Middle School and Marshalltown High School to assist those in need," says the statement.

Miller Middle School is where Brown went to school. His older brother, Sammy goes to Marshalltown High School where their mother, Michelle, also works.
